In many ways, Christians are no different from other consumers—they are discerning shoppers who put price, value, customer service, and convenience ahead of loyalty to businesses that just happen to be owned by Christians. But they are also a somewhat forgotten market that promises big returns for those businesses that develop real relationships with them. Christians may be ordinary consumers who need the same products as everyone else, but they respond extraordinarily well to marketing approaches customized to their needs.

Why Advertise in a Christian Newspaper?

Christians read Christian Community Newspapers because it represents what they like, but also who they are. That creates a level of loyalty not seen in secular print. Christian newspapers generate the most loyalty of any print format: 45% of readers become regular readers.

As a potential advertiser, you need to understand why Christian newspapers produce such loyalty. In a word: Trust!

Christian newspapers are an oasis in a segment that usually delivers more bad news than good. It’s not unusual for a Christian Newspaper to be seen not just in a Christian’s home, but also in their car and office. Unlike most periodicals, Christian newspapers are able to appeal to the entire family.

Families, especially parents, view Christian newspapers as an ally, helping them and their children understand more the difficult moral and ethical issues facing them every day.

Christian newspapers like, Changing Times, also serves as a tacic endorsement for your product or service when you advertise. That’s because, the publisher filters every advertisement.

When you place advertising in a secular periodical, they really don’t care what you say or what you’re selling as long as your product is legal and you don’t use foul language. Publishers of Christian newspapers believe they have a responsibility to make sure whatever goes in print under the newspaper’s mast-head must support the biblical values and tastes of Christians.

Companies spend thousands of dollars building trust in a Brand; Christian newspapers short-circuit that process by providing immediate brand recognition and trust, measured in real dollars. If you have a regular presence in a Christian newspaper, you in essence become a part of the family. Because you support their community newspaper, your company is seen as a trusted ally.

No other medium delivers as many Christians as a Christian Community Newspaper. The Newspaper is generally read cover to cover unlike most newspapers. The community depends on their community newspaper for information and advice about family-friendly issues, services and products.

Seldom does your advertisement compete with similar businesses. This gives your products and service more exclusivity for the reader.

Christian newspapers provide an advertising bargain. And with the valuable word-of-mouth – this community delivers on a regular basis, you won’t find a more loyal and committed audience. Another huge advantage of Christian Newspapers is that you have several avenues to communicate your message to readers!

As a savvy marketer, you know that engagement is the new reach. That is, reaching customers through direct advertising is not enough. When it comes to engagement, Christian newspapers have the upper hand. Here’s why:

Christians connect at a deeper level with their local community newspapers. Professionals in Christian Newspapers often speak of their work as a ministry. They consider themselves as an important partner to the church and other Christian organizations. Readers respond with their trust and loyalty.

They faithfully read the articles provided, because they believe the content will help them grow in faith. Christians support their newspaper financially. Christian Newspapers are less clustered with advertising. That means your Ad gets more attention, giving you a greater opportunity to engage with the reader.

All of this to say, Christian Newspaper Readers develop an intimate, emotional connection with their readers. If you hang out with Christians, you will hear the term “Changed Lives” a lot, and they can tell you countless stories to explain what they mean, often giving credit to the newspaper for helping them to change.
